But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us.
Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”1 Samuel 8:20 NIV
When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”1 Samuel 8:18 NIV
